Rigging: this is the ideal RAFer flat wire rigging we've all been waiting for. We have two basic sizes: .4mm and .8 mm, in my opinion, the .8mm is the best choice for our biplane models for those who wish to go the extra distance in detailing. They're very flexible, have already been annealed and very easy to cut and stretch. No stress imposed on the stick-n-tissue types.

I ordered the 50' roll and got the 100' roll instead. Good deal

This is a new larger sized Vape strip at .8mm. This is by far what I feel will be very compatible with our scaled biplanes at between 1 1/12th -1 1/4th. The one on the left is .8mm and the one on the right is .4mm that I originally posted.

As you can see, it's comparable to my efforts of slicing thin pieces of paper used for rigging on my PT-17. Although not easily seen here, it's about 1/3 to 1/4th the size of my rigging. Really nice and comes in 50' and 100' rolls. I got the 100' roll from Amazon for $8.50 plus free shipping.

As you can see, it's very thin to scale. It's made of shiny metal and really easy to use.

This might help solve our quest for that elusive flat RAFer rigging. I've just ordered this stuff that is used for those who Vape. it can be purchased through Amazon

Add the finished cartridge to the top of the gun, and with the wooden side grips, we've got one cool machine gun sitting on the top wing for all to see.

For the rear grip. Just use a small round dowel and sand the ends to a slight taper. I used a thin plastic strip painted gray for the simulated metal bracket

Cut the paper to fit the grip handle and add a small trigger guard by simply wrapping a strip of plastic around itself

To give the top wing mounted Lewis machine gun a little bit more "bling" I wanted to add some wood to the grip handle. I took a picture of my butcher block counter top in the kitchen. Uploaded to my printer. Made a print of the wood grain pattern. You could dry paint wood grain patterns if you choose to do so.

A small ring from a local bead shop and masking tape painted a light tan color to bring out the contrast and pop out the "leather strap."

I used water colors instead of artist's oils or other paints to avoid any reaction with the copper paint. When the wash mixture is dried, I used a damp Q-tip to wipe off the excess, leaving the dark mixture of black and brown deep within the small crevices and cracks to help give the cartridge some depth
